An amazing Home page.  Looks like another huge time consumer (I didn't say "waster"!)

Unless you have a Microsoft account on WIN 8.1 it won't install the app (well I couldn't).....I tried the 10.1 Tab but I couldn't remember my Samsung account (if I have one) as I use Google Play.

Interestingly, they must have used their own camera vehicle for what they call "Street Level" views.  I say that because you can explore Paris, but not Sydney.
Excellent clear maps and fast response times.  I'll have to explore its features further.
What a world we live in!!     :thumbsup

Satellite pix of Brisbane appear to be only a couple of years old.

I use here maps because I have a Nokia N8 and I can collect points or routes, create customized collections and then synchronise either from the computer or from the phone.  ++

Then from teh saved route or destination on the phone the GPS on the phone will take me where I want to go.

Apparently it works really well with Nokia Windows 8.1 phones too.
